Beautiful!!!!  I wanted to be a pilot!  Passed my ground schooling, but
doing maneuvers, I was suddenly ill!  Strange as I have a steel trap
stomach!  That’s how I realized I was pregnant with my first child!  24
years ago. Never got back to it. Beautiful classic plane. Love that they
are still out there being flown. Thanks for sharing!  ❤️❤️❤️
